Hyun Ah’s Group Name is Confirmed

Hyun Ah's group avoids direct competition

After quite a few delays, ex-Wonder Girl Hyun Ah is finally getting ready to debut with her new five member girl group. Cube Entertainment announced "We plan to launch a group different from all pre-existing girl groups. Their vocals and performances will be top notch. Hyun Ah and the rest of the members will debut as part of a group called 4 Minute." They came up with the name 4 minute to mean that they would "capture the audience with their charms in 4 minutes". It also includes the meaning "for minute" which apparently means that they will do their very best within a minute. I think that's what they mean anyway... the Engrish is absolutely horrendous.

Reminds me of Oh Jung Hyuk's He's Cry.

No matter how many times these reject companies tell me to "anticipate this group!", I lost faith in the words that "this group will be different from all the others" a LONG time ago. And come on now, 4 minute? If you're going to have a lame name, at least make it correct. If they could make me come in 4 minutes...now that would be a completely different matter, but it doesn't look promising as of right now, so I'm going to have to pass. To all those still interested anyway, the girls plan to debut sometime in June. Looks like Hyun Ah at least has some smarts though, she's avoiding all the competition she'll be getting from 2NE1 and T-ara if they had debuted this month.

Many thanks to BBang for tip.

hmm i don’t like that group name..4 min…wow there’s so many number group names or just names..there’s 2pm, 2am, 2ne1, se7en, 8eight, 7 size, and now 4 mintue….hmmm i have a feeling that 2ne1 and maybe hyun ah’s group will become popular…i don’t really think that T-ara gonna be that popular…......well good luck to all of them~

oh wow
it sucks that she had to leave the wonder girls
theyre so big now

i wish her the best of luck!

 
ehsna_wonder_fan's avatar

I still think that 2ne1 will be the only one popular out of all of them. UNLESS the Wonder Girls will help Hyunah’s new group..

@7 Who said Hyunah was a slut? and what’s the freaking source????

4 minute name is so freaking ugly. SO UNAPPEALING. I hope they change it.

name fail.

 
damyoungji's avatar

I think companies are running out of ideas with names. What is up with English names for bands? What happened to the good old names that were romanizatios of Korean names? Hmm… Either way, I am anticipating this new group. Hopefully the company will make them different from the groups these days!

I wish themluck for their debut.  :/
Hopefully it isn’t as lame as their name.

 
mjiane's avatar

they should have a number on their names too??

What the!!

i swear that’s what they all say about every new girl group debuting, that they are different from all other girl groups and their talents are top notch. well, i really do wish hyunah the best of luck, i actually liked her when she used to be a wonder girl. maybe, this group really will be different, who knows…i guess we’ll just have to wait and see

 
dglazybum's avatar

uhh.. too many girl groups..

 
tomoko's avatar

why am i not excited?
as much as i’m all for JYP family support and what not… i’m NOT anticipating this group.
(4 minute is more like how long they’ll be popular for…)

 
dainty_love's avatar

what’s with all these numbers being included in a group name? there’s 2am,2pm,2NE1 now 4 minutes? but anyway,wish them all the luck! it’s a tough competition!

perhaps that name make sense
after all preparation for making awesome performance
few month learning new choreography and record song
many hour spent time to makeup and setting the stage
just for 4 minute on air performance ..
  but it’s also mean they are not going to perform anything more or less
  than 4 minutes

lol. the only thing that came to my mind when i read this was “i only got 4 minutes…to save the world” ... justin timberlake is all i thought about lol. maybe the group is going for minute, thats why they just did a shortcut and put the number 4 and left out the s? come on, they cant be that stupid….right?

it takes them four minutes for their charm to kick in?
the group sounds too much like a 2NE1 wanna be already.
“different from all girl groups” 
the whole double meaning behind the name?
hyun ah deserves better.

Yg = 2ne1, cube = hyeonah 5, Mnet = Tierra 5, dsp = Rainbow 7
Six Star Empire = 9. jyp = 3 new female group, rumour sm = 5

“The group 4minute is company Playcube Entertainment’s 2nd project. The group is said to be different from the usual girl group in the Kpop world, and is formed by 5 members who had trained for a long time for this debut and are all very talented.”

-taken from the original article

Wow, major sense of deja vu here. Wasn’t this like repeated 8695894+ times already for every upcoming group?

Alright srs mode here, what kind of new, innovative image they’ll bring?

Please lord, no more ‘cutesy, femine aegyo’ girl groups. We have SNSD and Kara for that kind of shit. Too bad the sexy image is already taken by Afterschool. And the wacky, gangsta hiphop style goes to 2NE1. As for T-ara. No comment. They basically look like SNSD version 2.0 for me with only five members as a bonus.

So how exactly are they going to be different from the rest?

is gina choi gonna be in this group?


if she is,


DAMMIT GIRL. AREN’T YOU AMERICAN OR AT LEAST SPEAKS FLUENT ENGLISH?! WHAT’S WITH THE GRAMMATICAL ERROR IN THE NAME YOU CAME UP WITH YOURSELF?!


but that girl’s mistake is forgivable because she has some big boobs to make up for it.


GINA CHOI COME ON OUT ALREADY! We’ve been waiting!

 
polaroidbox's avatar

makes me want to sing hyori’s 10 minutes…


anyway, i’m actually looking forward to this girl group! the only one i’ve been waiting for. i miss hyunah. and if gina choi’s actually going to be in this group, oh man how awesomeee.


4 minute does sound lame, but really, what do you expect in the k-pop biz? lol.

 
~Loco_Roco~'s avatar

I actually like the name, but the meaning behind it is awful =X (I would laugh so hard if their debut song was 3 minutes and 59 seconds XD)
I’m only anticipating this for Hyun A <3

 
goldenGAZE's avatar

@32, WOAH JYP is gonna release another group(trio), can’t wait ^^.

I loved Hyunah in WG’s so i hope i like her new group. Currently 2NE1 are hot stuff and i love them (although their fans are cocky as hell), i hope Hyunah’s group will bring something hot to the tables too.

I don’t really mind debuting groups since most of them will disappear in no time anyway. lol! Companies should stop saying their group is going to be “different” though since they never live up to those words.
